The day after their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Brazil in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, the Atlas Lions returned to training on Sunday in a focused and calm atmosphere.
As is customary after a high-intensity match, players who saw the bulk of the action against the Seleção were given rest to aid their recovery ahead of the remainder of the tournament.
On training fields, substitutes and players who saw limited action took part in a more intense session led by the coaching staff. On the agenda: ball possession drills, tactical work, and physical exercises to uphold competitive rhythm.
While the players’ bodies are still recovering from the exertions against Brazil, their minds are already focused on the next match. Morocco will face Scotland on June 19 in Boston for the second matchday of Group C. A match that could prove decisive in the race to qualify for the Round of 16.
With a valuable point secured against one of the tournament’s favorites, the Atlas Lions head into their second match buoyed by confidence while remaining firmly grounded.
As the Boston showdown draws closer in five days, the focus now shifts to recovery, concentration, and fine-tuning preparations for the next challenge.
